Triplets...again!

You could officially say we're now on goat overload!  Abby birthed three little girls yesterday afternoon in all of about 7 minutes time.  The last two literally came out one immediately following the other at such a fast pace, that we're honestly not sure which of the two was born first!
Everyone is settling in well.  
Lola's three kids were wonderfully named this morning by the Burdine clan:  Chloe, Madison and Grover (who now happens to be the only black goat in the crew and the only boy).

Triplets!

We entered the barn this morning at 6am to find triplets!  Lola once again out did herself and birthed 3 kids and had them cleaned off and dry by the time we arrived in the barn.
The black kid is a baby boy and the two brown kids are little girls.  
Anyone in need of a pet goat?!?!

A feeding frenzy

The new window and door are finally finished!  Harvey loves his new perch located right in front of the bird feeder.  He sits in position every morning, watching the birds eat, flicking his tail to and fro.
The birds were going wild the other morning and we had 8 of them on the feeder at one point in time.  Perhaps it's time to get s second feeder!?!

Fruitful fruit!

Teresa bought some tomatoes the other day from the store.  After cutting into one earlier in the week, it took a second to register what was inside.  At first it appeared to be rotten, but at closer look, it was the tomato's seeds starting to sprout!
Teresa scooped out some of the seeds and proceeded to eat the otherwise perfectly normal tomato.  The following day, Eric planted the seeds into some soil.  Upon arriving home tonight, we were pleasantly surprised... 
Fruitful fruit....fancy that!

Demolition begins

This morning we woke up to -11F.  It seems strange to be starting the process of knocking out the wall to place in new windows when the high of the day is 1 degree!  Talk about bad timing!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Oh wait, not a dream.  Woke up today to snow!!!
Put on our snow shoes and took the goats out for a winter stroll.
